I leave in 4 days, on the 28th, and I pick her up when she turns 2 years and 1 week old, on 9/1. Since we received the photo of Gracyn on the pink and purple tricycle, we changed our minds about letting her have Peyton's Red, Yellow and Blue one and opted to buy the same one but in pink and purple. . .We thought it might be comforting for her to have something familiar.
During service today, our church family prayed for us. For travel mercies, and comfort. . .for strength, and discernment. For DH and Peyton as they wait behind at home, and for me as I spend Gracyn's first days with her trying to help her adjust. We are so blessed to have such support and friendship. Heavenly Father, thank you again for entrusting us with Gracyn. Thank you for being our strength through this journey.
Gracyn, Mommy can't wait to love on you and give you a big hug and kiss! I hope today you have a moment of silence. I hope that moment is full of peace, joy, and allows you to be exposed to God. He is with you my sweet daughter. Sending you Birthday wishes and kisses to you, from Mommy. Happy, Happy Birthday Sweet Pea! I love you, and I'm coming to bring you home to your forever family.

Tiffanie - At Asia Afternoon I was walking in the hallway and saw a little girl crawling along - and it was Jayden! I was so surprised to see her there. I talked to her dad - but Ramona was busy talking to aomeone else, so I did not get to say "hi" to her. What a surprise to actually see a baby from a blog I had been following! Happy Traveling! Can't wait to follow along on your blog to Taiwan! Susan H.
AWEEEE! Happy Birthday Gracyn!!! Mommy and daddy are going to be there soon hon! Just hang in there sweet pea! They are coming!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRACYN! Tiff, I'm sure this day is bittersweet. You'll soon be united with your love bug FOREVER... this is the last big day you'll miss in her sweet life.
I'm thinking of you and following your journey (in more ways than one, I guess!) every step of the way.
Disneyland, watch out! We'll be there soon...
PS Making me cry at 530 am on a Monday might be a record. :)
Happy happy birthday sweet Gracyn! I woke up this morning thinking of you and I'll continue to do so while working on a little something special to celebrate your day.
